Murray to Moyne

The Murray to Moyne is a cycle event like no other.

Cycling in 30km sections in two relay teams over a 520km course, the team experiences the beauty of the Victorian countryside, cycling through rolling hills, enjoying night riding and the dedicated help of a fabulous support team over the entire weekend. Held annually in April, the relay course goes from Echuca to Port Fairy.

Every year, for the past 22 years, the Children’s Cancer Foundation has entered a team to raise money for childhood cancer research. The 2018 ‘Cytotoxic Cyclists’ team consisted of 20 cyclists and 10 support crew, including staff, patients and families and their friends from The Royal Children’s Hospital and Monash Children’s Hospital.

The 2019 Murray to Moyne will take place from Friday, 5 to Sunday, 7 April.
